She's on fire!

I feel like we're in a tornado of development. This might just be Frankie's biggest year so far. Sometimes I look twice when she comes in the door because she looks a little different since the morning.

She ...

has the best teacher this year, well matched for her learning, she runs into school every day

started reading voraciously and gets an extra reading session during the week with some other big readers

is on the verge of a back handspring in gymnastics

has a bland palate dictated by only her group of friends (white food, oh well - but likes olives and smelts - guess there's hope)

is quite the stylish dresser

enjoys art

and Ailsa are writing a piece for the school newspaper on Fun in Math (.com)

speaks blindingly fast when she is first let out from class for the day

likes olives but won't eat them because other kids tell her the food smells

loves bowling {ps maybe Frankie and I will get our own bowling balls this xmas, Frankie Hello Kitty and mine with flames, I can't wait, Mom is not liking the bowling}
